Cherie Lim sang popular Taiwanese singer Jody Chiang’s classic Hokkien song Ke Au (Wife) at a recent karaoke session, and her voice still sounds as good as ever. The former actress, who turned 50 this year, once recorded an album titled “A Woman Who Cannot Be Without Love” when she was 25 and she has indeed been loved all these years.
Debuting as a model, she graduated from the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation or SBC’s ninth drama acting course in 1989. Her fellow classmates included Terence Cao, Xie Shao Guang and Tang Miao Ling. Her young and healthy appearance immediately won TV viewers’ hearts and she became one of the rising stars in SBC. She starred in memorable Channel 8 series like The Future Is Mine (1991), Behind Bars (1991) and Twin Bliss (1993).
However, after appearing in Young Justice Bao (1994), Cherie announced that she was retiring from show business and began working in public relations. Later on, she started her own modelling agency before marrying local billionaire Peter Lim in 2003.
After keeping a low profile for almost 25 years, Cherie agreed to shoot a cover story with stepdaughter Kim Lim for the August issue of ICON magazine.
